What if you had the power — or maybe the curse — to hear the inner thoughts of men? That’s the premise of “What Men Want,” Paramount Pictures‘ new R-rated comedy that comes home this week on Blu-ray, DVD and digital. In celebration of the film’s home entertainment debut, director Adam Shankman joined star Tamala Jones for a behind the scenes conversation with Moviebill. Check it out in the player below!

In the film, Ali Davis (Taraji P. Henson) is a successful sports agent who’s constantly boxed out by her male colleagues. After a wild night out with her girls, she mysteriously gains the ability to hear men’s thoughts.
